SummerLady Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I need help or advice to get back eating healthy and to the gym. I fell of the wagon so to speak. I feel horrible when I don't work out and eat bad. I have gained about 10 pounds and feel like CRA*&^!! Just not myself anymore..Nothing specific is bothering me, I am not depressed or anything I just lost my edge..Not sure why? I know in the past I am very hard on myself, even at times when I look fabulous, no lie...I am only hard on myself really and give everyone else empathy and support. I am my own worst enemy sometimes..What is wrong with me?? No one has said anything about my weight gain but I know it so right there I am upset..I need to get out of this funk....HELPPPPPPPPP Link to post Share on other sites
tman666 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Nobody can help you with consistency and dedication. Ultimately, you have to hold yourself responsible. I seem to remember you starting other threads like this in the past. The advice you received in those threads hasn't changed. There is no substitute for work ethic. Try working out hard and eating right for just six weeks. If you do that (no cheating, make a concerted effort) and still feel like you're not making progress or are regressing, then come back and ask for help. If you can't find it in yourself to eat reasonably healthy 90 percent of the time and go work out hard consistently, then do yourself a favor and hold yourself to a lower standard. You'll be happier that way. It's that simple. Sorry to sound like such a d*ck, but I really don't know what to tell you. Link to post Share on other sites

Instead, try focusing on getting stronger and breaking in an exercise routine right now. It might be motivating to list some fitness-related mini-goals and go for those. Once you have a bit of a foundation, onto the next phase. Link to post Share on other sites
USMCHokie Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Find a dedicated workout partner who will keep you accountable for your fitness and nutrition. It is by far the best way to get out of a physical fitness funk. Link to post Share on other sites
Star Gazer Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Find a dedicated workout partner who will keep you accountable for your fitness and nutrition. It is by far the best way to get out of a physical fitness funk. This. Or Crossfit. You can't slack off or eat like sh*t and survive Crossfit... It forces you to stay on your game.

I know this comes down to me being dedicated and making a choice. I appreciate the others feedback too about getting a work out partner and focusing on working out and not weight..I woke up today in better spirits Thanks again sometimes I just need a AZZ kicking..I will keep you updated Link to post Share on other sites

Having a dedicated workout partner is nice like Hokie said, but sometimes not possible. I am on the road almost all the time. So I just have to make myself do it without a fellow gym rat to help me Link to post Share on other sites
